MUSIKTHEATER IM REVIER

Showing Its True ColorsArchitecturally, the Gelsenkirchen Music Theater drew international admiration when it opened in 1959. Today, critics have repeatedly named it the best opera house in North Rhine-Westphalia. It captivates audiences not only with its exquisite, high-quality program but also with its interior and exterior architecture. From the very beginning, renowned artists were involved in the planning of the Musiktheater im Revier, including Yves Klein’s largest monochrome in the world, the sponge reliefs in “Gelsenkirchen Blue,” and Jean Tinguely, who designed the side walls of the foyer of the small theater as a moving installation.
